Overview

Barrettine Log Cabin Treatment is perfect for all exterior wood, including log cabins, summer houses, sheds, fences and decking. Adds additional protection to wood that has been previously pressure treated or treated with an exterior wood preservative.

Application

Always do a small test area to confirm performance and compatibility before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times. Stir thoroughly prior to and during application to ensure a consistent finish.

Decant Log Cabin Treatment into a paint kettle or other suitable container

Apply liberally, with a good quality natural bristle brush, working the oil into the surface of the wood and brushing in the direction of the wood grain

If desired, Barrettine Log Cabin Treatment may be applied by synthetic roller or sprayer, however you should always back brush to ensure even coverage

For best results, apply to all external sides of log cabins, sheds and decking prior to construction

Remove any excess surface oil to avoid extended drying times

Normally, one coat applied liberally with a wide bristle brush is sufficient

Should you apply a second coat, it may be applied after 12-24 hours, depending on the type of wood

Some hard / oily exotic hard woods such as Iroko, Teak, Idigbo and Cedar may only absorb 1 thin coat

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

Maintenance

Barrettine Log Cabin Treatment can be easily maintained with an application of a thin maintenance coat as and when required, usually every couple of years or as a yearly maintenance program, by simply following the Preparation and Application sections above.

Customer Reviews

To quote another well known brand - "It does what it says etc " Excellent product that gives an excellent finish to my log cabin by P.Bougourd

Applies easily with a brush. The trick is not to overload the brush as being an oil type product it can run down the brush handle very quickly if you do overload. Good coverage - applied two coats to new wood (approx 20sqm per coat) and still had plenty left over for future applications.

Very good product by Mapman 57

This product was very easy to apply. After two coats rain runs of my fence with hardly any water being absorbed. The clear version makes the wood slightly darker but really shows of the wood grain below. It covers very well exceeding the estimate on the tin.Very satisfied would use again.

Great product by Jay

I used this on seld build treated summer house. I wanted to provide extra protection for the wood. This clear product applied easily and was absorbed into the wood quickly. The second coat was again quick to apply. The appearance of the wood was slightly darker than the natural wood but it looks great

Excellent product by Richard Graham

Wonderful to have one product that you can use for both a log cabin and the decking that it sits on.
Penetrates timber well.
For large areas I found the combination of applying with a garden sprayer followed by brushing out to be the easiest and quickest method.
